Ok, that makes sense. I'll just have to see what the wiring price difference is, and hopefully go with what can handle 50 amps. Then it's just a matter of changing breaker, and receptacle to suit the piece of gear I get. Thanks!!!

It's my understanding that 220 outlets can be 20, 30, 40, or 50 amps. Should have mentioned it's getting it's own 200amp service.

The shed actually had to be moved from the garage location to where is sits now. That was fun. LOL We rolled it on telephone poll lengths.

I splurged and had a SS hood made for the exhaust fan.

Dormer braces still need some cladding.

Oh wow, here's a picture!

Just looking for opinions on my garage layout. For the record the garage shell is just recently completed with the interior still left to do. Just started on wiring. Most of the equipment listed I don't have yet, but plan to. It's not to scale. The footprint is 24 wide, 30 deep, 10' walls...

Puddles are about 1/4" deep when there are dry high spots.

Yeah, that was my initial thought; just dye the concrete and seal it. Too late for that. I want it nice and bright in there, and I think epoxying is a big part of it. My only concern about the low spots in the floor would be building something on the floor needing it to be perfectly flat.

He guys! I'm just about to put roofing and siding on my new garage... but as it's not weather tight yet, I have noticed that the back 1/3 of the garage seems to hold water pretty bad, as well as another couple of spots. So, as I plan to seal up the expansion joints, surface grind, then epoxy...

Attached garage

Ok... why can't I put pictures up...

Here it is guys! Literally a life long dream coming true for me. I've wanted a nice garage as long as I can remember. We were supposed to build it when we built our house 12 years ago, but as the budget grew tighter, something had to go, and the garage was it. I got the contractor to get the...

Good to know! I was leaning the Cape style way just so it didn't seem so overbearing... but I could look at putting a full 2nd story as well.

Here is a version of the lift I was referring to;

I never thought of the changing height in regards to the sloping floor, or putting a drain in front of the door to address melted water re-freezing! Both excellent points I'll keep in mind. As I mentioned I do plan on having a raised concrete wall around the perimeter, so I could adjust that...

Problem is I don't have a hoist, or know what one I'll be getting. This is just planning on it for the future. I'm assuming that if I just bump up my center section to 6" from 4, then I can likely put most hoists anywhere. Going to 8" may be cost prohibitive. Yes, duh, keep the 4 post up...

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply! That's an interesting position about the pad. So my understanding is that I'll need an engineered slab. This basically means that there's a footing all around, then the slab starts thick inside that, and goes to 4" in the center. I will most...

Hi everyone! Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm currently in the planning stages of my garage build, and thought I'd run it by this forum just to make sure I don't miss anything or make any mistakes. I'm still not 100% firm on these details, but I'm narrowing in on them; Cape style...
